Our builder said to head for the master bath during bad weather as its the strongest part of our home........the prof. wind/storm guy said the master closet.
Years ago in Clearwater, FL we dreaded storms, as it is one of the lightening spots of the USA.

After looking at those clouds, the snow doesn't seem that bad after all....

Great pics; thanks! We're finding the weather here both bizarre and beautiful and have been told that no matter what the weather is, it's typical Florida. One of our NY sons visited this week (left today) and put out mulch on the garden beds; fertilizer was put down too. When we headed out for lunch with him and our Clearwater son, also visiting, we got about a mile from home and the heavens suddenly opened up in such a torrential rainstorm that we could barely see through it. "Good," we all said, "it'll be perfect for the mulch and the fertilizer!" But do you think it rained even a sprinkle at our house a mile away? Do pigs have wings? At least it's getting rained on tonight....
